Find how much each earns

pres =6 and 3/4 times mec pay=17.25 times 6.75=116.4375, about $116.44
janitor is 3/4 or 0.75 of janitor=17.25 times 0.75=12.9375, about $12.94

add them

$17.25+$116.4275+$12.9375=146.615
round

$146.625

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<u>Given:</u>

  • At a factory, a mechanic earns $17.25 an hour.
  • The president of the company earns 6³/₄ times as much for each hour he works.
  • The janitor at the same company earns ³/₄ as much as the mechanic.

<u>Question:</u>

How much does the company pay for all three people employees' wages for one hour of work?

<u>The Process:</u>

Let us prepare a model for a mechanic earns $17.25 an hour.

\boxed{\$ 17.25}

Let us do multiplication on a fraction at first.

\boxed{ \ = \frac{3}{4} \times 17.25 \ }

\boxed{ \ = 3 \times \frac{1}{4} \times 17.25 \ }

\boxed{ \ = 3 \times \frac{17.25}{4} \ }

\boxed{ \ = 3 \times 4.3125 \ }

\boxed{\boxed{ \ 12.9375 \ }}

Then we make a model for the president of the company who earn 6³/₄ (six and three quarter) times as much for each hour the mechanic works. Recall that \boxed{6\frac{3}{4} \ parts = 6 \ parts + \frac{3}{4} \ parts}

\boxed{\$ 17.25}\boxed{\$ 17.25}\boxed{\$ 17.25}\boxed{\$ 17.25}\boxed{\$ 17.25}\boxed{\$ 17.25}\boxed{12.9375}

Let's calculate how much the president of the company earns for each hour.

\boxed{ \ = (6 \times \$ 17.25) + \$ 12.9375 \ }

\boxed{ \ = \$ 103.5 + \$ 12.9375 \ }

\boxed{ \ \$ 116.4375 \ }

And we also calculate for the janitors who earn ³/₄ as much as the mechanic.

\boxed{ \ = \frac{3}{4} \times 17.25 = 12.9375 \ }

Finally, let's add up all earning to find out how much does the company pay for all three people employees' wages for one hour of work.

\boxed{ \ \$ 17.25 + \$ 116.4375 + \$ 12.9375 = \$ 146.625 }

F(x)=5x^2 Has minimum (0,0)

g(x) = f(x) + 2 Shifts the graph two units up, then the minimum is 2+0=2.

h(x) = g(x+4) Shifts the graph four units left,  then the minimum is at 0-4 = -4.

Then h(x) = 5(x+4)^2 + 2 has the minimum (-4,2)

And p(x) = -5(x+4)^2 + 2 has the maximum (-4,2)

The function g is defined as follows.
Radda [10]

Answer:

h(x) =  2x²+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function g is defined as follows.

g(x) = 2x²+7

If the graph is translated by 5units vertically downwards, this means that the function will be reduced by 5 units to have;

h(x) =  2x²+7 - 5

h(x) =  2x²+2

Elina [12.6K]
STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:

= x^2 - 13x + 30

= x^2 - 10x - 3x + 30

= x ( x - 10 ) - 3 ( x - 10 )

= ( x - 10 ) ( x - 3 )

FINAL ANSWER:

Therefore, the answer is:

C. x - 10
